Good point, but selling him or any 3's is not hard for me at all, just like you. This morning I sold off Luke Cage and Magneto over my other dozens of random 2's and 1's.

If you do have it then you can play for the reward. This is a bit lame, and players just aren't going to have the covers to play this mode, it doesn't matter how you look at this. It's a mode that gonna go uncompleted countlessly, for one cause it's daily, people are gonna lose track of it, and this essential garbage.

What would you have them do? Give 3* cover to every player every day? How would they then make money?

I specifically said, let players play the mode, allow them to complete the nodes, just dish out random tokens, random works in this game. Also if you really want to complete this and get that certain cover, a bit odd though that it's the essential. I mean 1/3rd chance of already owning given cover if you're cover maxed. Odd but fine. Go ahead and beat it and take it, still people should be allowed just to finish, the said daily mission. Bit of a black eye situation here, cause it's a daily mission, meaning, pretty simple, yet you're locked out of daily mission? Wow, that's just a low thing to do, daily means simple in mind, this should be a simple task to complete, but you tack on this and you just don't even get to finish it. This won't happen everyday, but seriously, you take the idea of a daily mission and flip it into something totally lame.

You're having a bad week. The next four days are going to be Luke Cage, CMags, Rocket and MoStorm

LOL, holy **** thanks D3 for giving me those randoms in advance. I say the heck with this mode already, I'll take the rocket and storm and say the heck with this mode.

Wow, you really prefer token rewards? Do you also prefer token rewards instead of guaranteed covers for placement rewards in each PvE and PvP event (if "random works in this game")? I really can't say that I do. I suppose you by extension prefer to buy 10 and 42 packs with your HP instead of buying covers then.

Their stated purpose was to still give meaning to earning new covers while also helping players WITH the cover finish a character faster. They said this quite explicitly and I think it's weird that you expected something else.

Logically, I can't really follow your argument except the fact that this event does not match your expectation, which leads me to wonder how on earth you came to those expectations. There wasn't much mystery to it; the devs communicated really well about this event and what purpose it served.

Why would you do that? Once you have 2's, you only need one (maybe two with this new feature) 1's. If you're selling 3's so you can keep 1's, that's a strategy fault of your own.

Fine alongside, or at the same time. Jeez. Point was, I sold them all over for iso. Make sense now?

For players without the essential, letting them complete the nodes and perhaps earn a couple extra rewards is far better than being locked out. So many players are saying they are satisified with the iso itself, and really that's all top players are getting from this. Not a stretch if they pooled everyone there, but they can keep this structure I really don't care, but letting players finish regardless of their covers should be a priority.

I am more bummed out that I don't even have any 1* characters anymore.

But.... that's pretty much exactly how the daily works. Players without essential earn Taco and 1500 iso! How is that... argh! Ah, forget it.

I got the usual nothing 2* off my first taco token, but another one for kicks and the same result. Fun to have something different tho. I'm excited for these.

It's not D3's fault if you choose to sell a 3* cover. I sold many when I first started and most of the time it's come back to bit me in the backside, so I have a bunch of lvl 40's with 3 - 11 covers sitting there for times like this.

You never know who's going to be essential for what. One of the first things about this game that I went "cool" over was the idea of essentials. It's like a secret level....sorta. I imagine there will be a few dozen threads about everyone should get loaners now. Don't think I'll ever do the 1* level, or might have to buy a roster spot to have a 1*.

Of course it isn't D3's "fault", but after last months Q&A, they made it clear that they like the difficult decisions people have to make as a result of ro$ter $lot$. This is by design.

I've dumped about $180 into the game over a year, by choice, and why wouldn't I? I enjoyed it and wanted to do better and play more and support it. $100 of that was for a few specific covers. As a new player you may not be able to keep up with all the HP needed for new roster slots, but I have spent a penny since I vowed not to, and if you don't want to spend the odd couple bucks here and there to top off shields or buy a roster slot then don't.

It's not a difficult choice. we are all (at least nearly) adults. If it's not worth your time or money, find a game that is, or play with teh charecters you like, simple as that. As far as difficult decisions in games go (online or not) whether I keep a cover or not is one of the least anxiety inducing decisions I've ever made in my entire gaming like (over 20 years).

that totally takes your OP which to be honest came off to me as whinning and turns it into valid feedback. an essential for daily reward I can get comes off as lame becuase you won't keep a roster spot for when beast is the essential in a daily. I love essentials, even when they aren't in my favor for me it amps up the pokemon syndrome of the game. I will always 100% support essentials in pve but with the daily yeah, you have a point that it's not the most exciting decision. Still, that's a 3 star cover every single day, so you know D3 won't make it uber easy. My crossroads is if it's worth a roster slot to me for the 1* and the iso to level one up. so D3 was successful in getting a vet to buy another slot i guess....masterminds they are.

I know Haters gonna Hate and all, but seriously, why complain on the first day for what is probably one of the best thing D3 has done for it's player base in maybe forever? Personally, I think this is better than 8 hour refreshes and End Time selections combined.

I'll grant the roster slot costs being an issue for players, but regularly selling 3* covers that many would naw their right arm off for and then lamenting about it seems a bit silly to me. DP Daily is broken out into 2 distinct paths, the only thing you're going to miss out on is a Random Event Token and the guaranteed 3* cover that you apparently didn't care for anyway since you sold it earlier.

You still can do the other path for 1,500 ISO and another Event Token every single day, which has a chance at 1000 HP that some have already reported getting along with one of the featured characters that week.

There's literally no downside I can even think of to a quick, daily event that provides access to every single 3* cover in the game including vaulted characters that keeps on repeating, the only requirement is to have at least one cover of said character to get a shot at more which isn't asking for too much in my mind. The ISO/HP/Tokens won is just gravy on top that many are thankful for.

Come on, be happy now!

That makes sense. "Over" doesn't mean alongside. Anyway, you don't sell 3*'s. Bad strategy. Make room. Buy a slot.

May I ask, where did this info come from? Just wondering so I can try to keep ahead of the curve and not make any unfortunate roster decisions that might be regrettable later.

Did, will do, and so will you unless you keep literally everything. In that case I don't want to know what you spent on this. Selling covers is not a bad strategy and 3's that don't work into my roster, is not a bad strategy to sell. That's still 500 iso towards my many characters. So no, this isn't a bad strategy.

This format is putting a little bit of extra pressure on the players to keep more characters in the roster, which is what D3 is after and I'm fine with that, as long as it doesn't completely ruin the game.

This format seem like much better than average rewards, even if you don't have BP today - which I do but I keep just barely losing the last round, so I may be outta luck if I can't get something going.

Question - are HP sales common? How often do they happen? Are they announced in advance?
(I got CMags sitting out there and I need to put him in a spot, but I'd rather be a tuna instead of a whale, if you get my drift).

Thanks!

If you look at the Taco Token drop rate, the 3*'s possible are BP, Cage, Mags, Grocket, and MoStorm for this week. So they will be the rewards, in some order, up till Sunday. On Monday, they will be rotated out and 7 new 3*'s will be rotated in. Or at least that's how I understand it.

Looks like it was today. If don't want them, and clearly you don't or you wouldn't have sold them, then why do you care that you can't get more of a character you didn't want any way.

I'm starting to wonder if this is for real.

Luke and Mags were this morning. I got BP a couple days ago and sold him. I think why this matters to me, going back to what I first said, is this is gonna be the routine. So at this point I'll take what I can get from this. Not a big mode, maybe expected more, but adding characters to appease this simple format over the greater pve is not in my future. Unless you want to cash down double hard, this really isn't worth a second glance, at least for me.

That's a darn good question! They used to be pretty common last year (monthly(?)), but never announced in advance, and, even weirder, were often different from platform to platform (that is, different sale on Android, Steam, or iOS; sometimes on sale on one platform but not others), and I always found out from the grapevine, no announcements.

Just now I poke around looking for any record of recent sales ... found nothing. Anybody have a reference?
